Law enforcement officers frequently find themselves encountering individuals in crisis who also suffer with mental illnesses. Officers must be able to recognize the symptoms of those illnesses and respond safely using an empathetic and humane approach. Effective communication and the ability to de-escalate someone in a crisis mode is a crucial skill required of all law enforcement officers. This course is designed to prepare students to effectively respond and defuse the crisis situations using proven interventions.
